2.0 out of 5 stars Magellan Explorist 300, July 14, 2007

If doing this again, I would spend more for a unit with a cable that can be accessed by a PC, for loading and changing points of interest. I have also had some problems with the unit dumping the coordinates that were loaded, and am still trying to trend when that happens. Usually it will dump the coordinates after the Low Battery warning comes on, and I change to new batteries. Anyone else having this problem? I've also had a couple instances where it dumped the coordinates because it was in a car with the windows up. Not in the sunlight, just in a warm car. Buyer beware.

It works swell and it is easy to use. To improve it should have features of ATA (aproximate time of arrival)and introduction of coordinates to new point of interest.
